Wow. Was so sorry to read last night of Floy Jean passing. I wish I had seen the notice earlier in the day. Missing the visitation and unable to attend the service today upsets me so much as you both were always so special to our family. Please do know that are thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Floy Jean was such a wonderful person. Always, Always, Always smiling and having kind words for everyone. My parents enjoyed your friendship so much. Floy Jean was such a help when my dad passed away. She was always giving of herself. She will be missed.
Floy Jean was an angel on earth! Her Southern grace and style poured from her very existence! She always made us feel so welcomed and her constant "giving" of herself to all, will surely leave a void! Heaven has received a beautiful soul! Please accept our sincere sympathy and prayers as you live on without her. Our kids still have fond memories of Thanksgivings past~~memories we will all cherish. A precious lady~~rest in peace~~a life well lived!
Love, Jim and Betty and family
Praying for you all,
Beth and Bob

God Bless you, You are in our prayers.
